Shattered Wing

Frightened little one,
'N utterly beautiful caterpillar, she was.
Oh, courageously hunted,
Wicked wild flower, she spotted.

Dreaming whole-heartedly,
Beauty with a wing; t'was never granted.

For thy love of beauty was forever wished,
Such patience started to wither.
Poisoned flower thought contained magic,
Eaten with endeavour; life ended tragic.

Decipher the last thoughts, 
Of the caterpillar that perished.
Alas! You'll hear her words, 
My thoughts, perhaps.
